ActionSA City of Tshwane Caucus spokesperson, Thabang Sebotsane adds, “ActionSA thanks our coalition partners for placing trust in us by nominating one of our own for the position. As the Chairperson of the Municipal Public Accounts Committee (MPAC), Morodi has an impressive track record of championing corruption-busting investigations to stop the plunder of ratepayer Rands. This includes addressing the City’s adverse findings AG findings.”
Molapo is believed to be, in part, responsible for coordinating some ActionSA Councillors in the City of Tshwane who do not support the multi-party Coalition’s decision to support the vote for a new coalition mayor in the City.
